I think you could still use your 7mm set made for an HEI ignition,
you'll just need a wire for the coil to the distributor. You can buy
single wires. I used MSD cut to fit wires on my 406. I cut them a
little long so I could remove the distributor cap with the wires
attached if needed; in hindsight I would have cut them shorter.
Plug wire looms are critical; burned wires can ruin race day. I have
the same AFR 195 heads as you, and I used Moroso looms made for
centerbolt heads, since the AFR heads have the loom bolt holes on the
sides, between the exhaust ports. I had to grind my header flanges
for clearance. Mounting the looms on the side of the heads means you
can remove the valve covers without disturbing the plug wires. I
found a photo of an engine with the looms I have, I can take a photo
of my wire setup if you want:
